THE THIRD FLOOR, Inc. is the world’s pre-eminent, Emmy Award visualization company with offices in Los Angeles and London as well as on location with productions around the world.

We continue to push the boundaries of entertainment with content development for exciting cutting-edge projects. By using the language of cinematography and animation in tandem to design the strongest possible sequences, a postvis artist holds an impactful and highly collaborative role in the filmmaking process.
